Conﬁguring X.25 Links Step-by-Step

1. In the Remote node name ﬁeld, enter, in turn, the nodename of

each remote X.25 node on your network in the format

nodename.domain.organization. Also, if you need to be able to perform a

loopback DSLINE command to the local node, then enter the local

HP 3000 node's name here as well.

2. For each remote nodename, type the IP address of the node in the

Remote IP address ﬁeld.

3. To specify that calls can be made to a node, enter its address key in

the Address key ﬁeld. Enter the node portion of the remote node's

conﬁgured nodename.

NOTE

An address key called POOL is already preconﬁgured for you though it

doesn't show up on the screen. POOL allows the node being conﬁgured to

receive any incoming calls even if the remote system's address is not

conﬁgured on this screen. POOL will also allow you to use NetIPC to

programmatically provide an X.25 address that is not conﬁgured on this

screen. If you want to delete the POOL address key, in the last line of the

X.25 Virtual Circuit Conﬁguration screen enter a 3 (for switched VCs)

and press the

[Go To] key. That brings you to the X.25 SVC Address Key

Paths screen where you can then remove the default name POOL by

typing over it with spaces and then saving the data.

4. If the address type is a switched virtual circuit, complete steps a

through c, but if the address type is a permanent virtual circuit, skip

to step 5.
